Apparition on 6s with typhoon 1800kv

[Graeme]

I tried the typhoon in my genesis today and it sucks.
too much boat for the motor.
It's slower than stock and gets too hot.

[Graeme]

I have run this set up lots on 4s2p very reliable everything stays cold.
It runs a constant 40mph and last 15-20 minutes on 5000mAh packs.

I have not tried 5s to see if things stay cool.
I would imagine it's just a matter of finding the right prop combo to run 6s and keep the heat down.

The only thing I modified to make the motor fit was the motor.
I cut around 5mm off the shaft as it was much longer than stock motor shaft other then that it bolts right in.

I should have my Genesis this week and I am going to try this motor out in it as well.

Have you tested the boat more with this setup?
How many cells do you recommend for a trustworthy boat? Is 6 cells too much?
How long run time you will get with this setup?
Was it just to bolt the engine right in or was it much modification?
I wish to mount the same engine as you are in a Genesis, but is unsure how many cells and how many mAh I should run?

I think that with a small gps I could probably get there the one i am using weighs more than one of my lipo packs.
where does one buy a cheap light gps from ?

I am loving this set up I bought the typhoon for the surge flusher and never installed it before I sold it.

Look for a Forerunner 101-301 or Foretrex. Nice, small and simple. That's what I use. I'm still trying to get my Apparition to break 60 reliably...

I wonder if I can break 60 with this set up will have to try a smaller prop and a smaller GPS.

I'm not so sure. More like 55 I think.
Running T180 CC/Neu 2650Kv on 4s w/440 was 58mph (39k RPM) and had to go up to 8mm motor bullets. I melted the solder connections on the Castle 6.5mm bullets. Probably could have gotten 60 w/442 but kept breaking the drives... Too much RPM.

Depending on your lipo weight and I think the Typhoon is lighter... might get close to 60.

I'm going to put that typhoon motor in my red evo!
will try it on 4s and work my way up!
Small prop also.

Wish me luck....hahaha

[ray schrauwen]

Yes, it should be at 15 degrees.

[Graeme]

the other thing I changed was timing from 11.25 deg to 15deg
not sure if that had an impact on the motor heat or not

[Graeme]

on 4s it runs a sold 43mph and cool i think it will be a good reliable set up of 4s
my gps is too heavy and causes a bad list so it's probably more like 45

I definably need a smaller prop for running on 6s motor temp was 150 esc was 80.
and something was smoking I am hoping it was just the 4mm bullet connects. I have larger ones on the way.
anyway here is a video on 6s it flys

I wonder if a 38mm prop would bring the temps down just a tad on the motor, and maybe even let it rev out a bit more...........may end up being as fast but cooler............????

[Graeme]

Yeah I can't believe the torque difference and the sound they just sound mean.

I will try to post a video soon.

I think I am going to try one in the genesis cat when I get it.

Cool! The outrunners seem to be the way to go!

I did try it on 6s I see the confusion I was not too clear in my explanation I will change it
thanks.
